I write under the pen name Grand Papa G, creating gentle, heart-warming stories for young children that celebrate kindness, courage, compassion, and faith. My passion is storytelling that speaks to little hearts while supporting parents, grandparents, and carers in sharing meaningful values through everyday reading moments.

My journey into children’s storytelling was inspired by a love of reading with young children and a desire to create stories that feel safe, comforting, and full of wonder. I believe that the earliest stories we hear can shape how we see the world — and that even the smallest tales can carry big lessons when they are told with care.

My debut book, The Adventures of Avianna: Embracing Kindness and Courage, introduces young readers to empathy, bravery, and the power of simple acts of kindness through beautifully illustrated storytelling, written especially for children aged 1–3.

Looking ahead, I am excited to be working on a children’s Bible story series, thoughtfully written to introduce foundational biblical teachings in an age-appropriate, joyful, and accessible way. This upcoming series is designed to help families share faith-based lessons with young children through stories that are warm, engaging, and easy to understand.

Through this blog, I share updates, behind-the-scenes glimpses into my writing process, reflections on storytelling and faith, and resources for families who value meaningful reading time with their little ones.

Thank you for stopping by and being part of this journey. I hope these stories bring comfort, joy, and a little magic into your home.

Stories are better when they’re shared — thank you for reading along.
